Pupils of Kabiruini Primary School in Ruguru village, Mathira sub-county have a reason to look forward to the school’s re-opening after their parents renovated their school using their bare hands.

In a spirit reminiscent of ‘harambee’ days, the parents partnered with a sponsor who donated building materials and they organised themselves before embarking on what seemed like a herculean task.
